Paulo Cunha

It’s difficult to be vulnerable in front of others and I am not going to pretend it’s not. Finding the courage to share your internal world is daunting, and I respect the immense bravery it takes to take that first step.

If you are navigating a major life transition, struggling with your identity, or feeling disconnected from the world around you, you do not have to figure it out alone. I provide a structured, supportive space to help you rebuild.

Having navigated major life changes myself, including international moves, career pivots, and life as a gay man, I know firsthand the complex process of rebuilding oneself.

My work centres on four key areas:

• navigating major life shifts (such as relocation or career changes),
• addressing feelings of invisibility or disconnection from others around you,
• untangling relationships where you lose your sense of self in others, and
• processing how aging alters your perspective on your body, desires, and community.

I provide integrative psychotherapy and therapeutic coaching online across the UK, and face-to-face in Walthamstow (E17) and Hackney Central (E8). 

As an integrative practitioner, my work balances two distinct approaches to honour the complexity of your story:

• Deep, Reflective Psychotherapy: This exploratory work delves into your past, untangles relational patterns, and processes the root causes of current distress to understand how you became who you are.
• Forward-Focused Therapeutic Coaching: This action-oriented work utilizes practical tools to clarify goals, address immediate transition challenges, and actively build a grounded, meaningful future.

This dual approach ensures our partnership balances both healing and momentum, tailoring the focus to what you need at different stages of your journey.

Our initial 50-minute session is an active therapeutic space to explore your goals and see if our dynamic is a good fit, giving us both a chance to ensure I am the right person to support your unique needs.

To help you decide, the first session is offered at a reduced rate of £55, with subsequent individual sessions priced at £80.
